Crooked Creek Art League Meets Oct. 15th

NEXT CCAL MEETING WILL BE OCTOBER 15TH AT 7:00 PM
"Pottery Making and Decoration" Adrienne Chapelle, Guest Speaker

"Adrienne’s ceramic journey began with hand built pieces in high school and continued with college classes amidst her geology major but pottery took a backseat to being a Geologist and mother until she took lessons from Columbia’s ceramic artist, Johnny Nutt in 1993. By 1999, the avocation turned into a full time calling when she began and continues to exhibit her work, manage Crooked Creek Park’s ceramic studio and give lessons and workshops. Today she specializes in elegantly designed stoneware for the table.

*
Adrienne’s presentation will demonstrate both hand built and wheel thrown pottery as well as discussing various methods of surface decoration. What a great opportunity to explore this art form! Karen"
